The Pelvic Floor Project
Embarrassing symptoms deserve better conversations.
Whether you're dealing with bladder leaks, prolapse, pelvic pain, painful sex, erectile dysfunction, constipation, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or simply wondering if what you're experiencing is normal—you're not alone.
Hosted by pelvic floor physiotherapist Melissa Dessaulles, this podcast helps you understand how your body works and why symptoms happen. Through conversations with leading researchers, physicians, surgeons, sex therapists, midwives, psychologists, and other experts, we translate the latest evidence into practical information you can actually use.
No myths. No shame. No confusing medical jargon.
Just honest conversations that connect the dots—so you can feel informed, confident, and empowered to make decisions about your health.

119. Top 5 messages I repeat as a pelvic health physiotherapist
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this solo episode, I discuss:
- Just because you have a pelvic floor symptom, doesn’t mean your pelvic floor is “damaged” or “broken”
- The majority of people have no idea how their bowel, bladder and sexual systems work
- You are not supposed to actively hold your core or pelvic floor “engaged” during the day
- You do not need to wait 6 weeks to work with a physio after birth, hysterectomy, prostate surgery etc etc
- We all have a pelvic floor and their are benefits to talking about it.
